Abstract: A camera with a field of view toward an external environment of an aircraft is disposed within an aircraft door such that a ground surface is within the field of view of the camera during taxiing of the aircraft. A display device is disposed within an interior of the aircraft. A processor is operatively coupled to the camera and to the display device. The processor analyzes image data captured by the camera for docking guidance by identifying, within the captured image data, a region on the ground surface corresponding to an alignment fiducial indicating a parking location for the aircraft, determining, based on the region of the captured image data corresponding to the alignment fiducial indicating the parking location, a relative location of the aircraft with respect to the alignment fiducial, and outputting an indication of the relative location of the aircraft to the alignment fiducial.

Abstract: A camera with a field of view toward an external environment of an aircraft is disposed within an aircraft door such that a leading edge of a wing of the aircraft is within the field of view of the camera. A display device is disposed within an interior of the aircraft. A processor is operatively coupled to the camera and to the display device. The processor analyzes image data captured by the camera to predict a likelihood of foreign object collision with the leading edge of the wing, or detect damage or deformation to the leading edge.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to rendering an image of objects in a region of an airport taxiway. The image is rendered from data provided by multiple sources. Three-dimensional models of static airport structures located within the region of an airport taxiway are provided. Rendered image data of the region of the airport taxiway if formed based on the retrieved three-dimensional models of the static airport structures. Data indicative of locations of dynamic objects within the region of the airport taxiway is also provided. Symbols identifying the dynamic objects within the region of the airport taxiway are mapped into the rendered image data at the locations indicated by the provided data. The rendered image data is sent to a display device configured to display the rendered image data.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to controlling, based on a mode selector, the field of view of an external object detector during aircraft taxi operations. For example, during high-speed taxi operations, the field of view can be controlled to have a relatively-small solid-angle of detection capability. The relatively-small solid-angle field of view can be aligned so as to detect more distant objects within a narrow corridor extending forward of the aircraft's wingtips. During low-speed taxi operations, for example, the field of view can be controlled to have a relatively-large solid-angle of detection capability. The relatively-large solid-angle field of view can be aligned so as to detect close objects in the vicinity of the aircraft wings and engine nacelle. The object detector projects structured light within the controlled field of view, thereby illuminating the object(s) external to the aircraft that are within the illumination field of view.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to displaying an image of a taxiing aircraft in relation to objects in a surrounding environment. A first data set indicative of locations, relative to the taxiing aircraft, of objects external to the taxiing aircraft is collected. Then, image data of a map of an area external to and including the taxiing aircraft is formed. Symbols of the objects external to the aircraft at the locations, relative to the taxiing aircraft, indicated by the first data set are mapping into the image data. The image data is then sent to a display device for displaying the image data to a pilot of the taxiing aircraft. Displaying a map indicating the relative location of external objects with which the taxiing aircraft could potentially collide advantageously assists the pilot in taxi operation.

Abstract: A system can include an unmanned aerial vehicle and an altimeter disposed on the unmanned aerial vehicle. The altimeter can include an ultra-wideband radar antenna disposed orthogonally to a plane of straight and level flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle and having an omnidirectional azimuthal beam pattern orthogonal to the plane of straight and level flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The altimeter can be configured to determine an altitude of the unmanned aerial vehicle above a target surface based on time of flight of radar pulses between the ultra-wideband radar antenna and the target surface.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to calculating position and/or range data of object(s) in a scene external to an aircraft. A light projector is configured to project, from an aircraft projector location, a collimated beam of light in a controllable direction onto the scene. The light projector is further configured to control the intensity of the projected light, based on the controlled direction of the collimated beam of light. The reflected beam is detected by a camera located apart from the light projector. An image processor is configured to use triangulation, to calculate position values and/or range data of the object(s) in the scene. The image processor can be further configured to identify the object(s) in the scene and to produce, based in object(s) in the scene, one or more maps of the scene. The intensity of the collimated beam can be controlled based on the produced maps.

Abstract: A biometric sensing system for an aircraft cockpit includes an infrared camera, infrared illuminators, and a CPU. The infrared camera is mounted in a flight deck display surface of the cockpit and has a field of view including an upper body region of a flight crew member when the flight crew member is seated in the cockpit. The infrared illuminators are mounted in the flight deck display surface and directed to illuminate the upper body region of the flight crew member when the flight crew member is seated in the cockpit. The CPU can communicate instructions to the infrared camera and infrared illuminators, receive image data captured by the infrared camera, and process the image data captured by the infrared camera in order to determine an alertness level of the flight crew member based on at least one biometric characteristic within the captured image data.

Abstract: A camera with a field of view toward an external environment of an aircraft is disposed within an aircraft door such that an evacuation slide deployment path is within the field of view of the camera. A display device is disposed within an interior of the aircraft. A processor is operatively coupled to the camera and to the display device. The processor analyzes image data captured by the camera to identify a region within the captured image data that corresponds to the evacuation slide deployment path, determine whether the evacuation slide deployment path will generate a failed deployment outcome, and produce a warning associated with the evacuation slide deployment path in response to determining that the evacuation slide deployment path will generate the failed deployment outcome.
